My current case is a Sharkoon vg5-w (blue), their website says that their max CPU cooler height is of 160mm. ( https://en.sharkoon.com/product/1678/VG5-W )
The Noctua NH-D15S has a rated height of 160mm. (https://noctua.at/en/nh-d15s/specification )
From what the specifications mention it "should" fit, but I'd like some second thoughts.
Context: I'm currently using a Cooler Master H412R cooler, the recently failed (damaged bearing) and I get a boot error message (CPU fan error!). I could replace the fan but I am not happy with the temperatures I've been getting (50 idle - 90 on load, no overclock) I'd guess that the extreme summer weather of this year is partly responsible for the temps, but I think I'd be wise of me to upgrade anyways. If the answer is that the cooler won't fit I will probably resign to buying a new fan or getting myself an H7.
